Troubleshooting 1 – Current Students
Access: In order to update Learning Hours you will need access to Learning Hours Maintenance within the Census Module > Routines > Learning Hours Maintenance of Config > Setup > Roles & Permissions
For current students check their Planned Learning Hours via Modules > Census > Learning Hours Maintenance. Hours can be updated here.
Troubleshooting 2 – Leaver Students
Access: In order to update Learning Aims in bulk you will need access to Manage Learning AIMS within the Curriculum Module from Config > Setup > Roles & Permissions
For leaver students, you would need to check their Learning Aim end dates. If these are after 31/07/26, the system will be expecting hours after this date. The dates may need to be amended inline with the DFE Validation. These can be amended in bulk via Modules > Curriculum > Manage Learning Aims
Important: Once any changes have been made, you will need to create a new Census return completing save and validate, to retrieve the amendments and clear the error/query.
